History is definitely repeating as both these teams have played the second semi for a few years now, with the winner rotating rotating on a regular basis.

The loser will play Scotchtown in next weekend’s preliminary final.

Both clubs are equally matched with games all season being close and coming down to the final siren, but it’s been Forest/Stanley that has come out on top in the past two games, even when Irishtown upped the pace and pressure in the final quarter.

With the match played mainly in the midfield, Irishtown’s biggest battle will be in defence, holding the Jackson brothers if they are on fire.

In other matches on the day, the reserves will mimic the seniors as Irishtown and Forest/Stanley battle it out.

Both the under 17 and under 14 clashes have Redpa taking on Irishtown and all games start at regular times
